Fourth In-House Workshop

The Fourth In-House conference attracted 24 speakers from amongst the Resident Fellows, Visiting Fellows, Center Associates and former North American Visiting Fellows of the Center. The three-day event, held on the Pitt campus 26-28 October 2001, provided an opportunity for local Fellows to renew their involvement with the Center and for us to welcome back several former visitors. Papers covered a wide range of topics in the history and philosophy of science, including logic and metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of computing, history of mathematics and history of biology. The conference was generously supported by the Harvey and Leslie Wagner Endowment, the University Endowment and the Sarah Scaife Foundation.
